A new host of global shutter sensor tools are enabled via RED's Global Vision. Global Vision enhances your highlights for more detail in HDR finishes with the ability to soften roll-off for SDR applications. Phantom Track streamlines virtual production by recording at 120 fps and splitting the signal to show the green-screen effect to support your talent's reactions and the actual green screen and motion markers for your visual effects team's use.
